Leitfaden für die Erstellung von Projektskizzen im Rahmen der
Fördermaßnahme
des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF)
„Förderung des Strukturaufbaus in der Versorgungsforschung“
(Modul 1)
Dieser Leitfaden stellt einen erläuternden Text zu den Richtlinien zur Förderung des
Strukturaufbaus in der Versorgungsforschung dar. Er dient als Hilfestellung zur Gestaltung einer
beurteilungsfähigen Projektskizze und soll offene Fragen im Vorfeld der Einreichung klären.
Projektskizzen, die den Vorgaben der Förderrichtlinien und des folgenden Leitfadens nicht
entsprechen, können ohne weitere Prüfung zurückgewiesen werden.
Verfahren
In dieser Fördermaßnahme sind zwei fachliche Begutachtungsschritte vorgesehen. Die nach
diesem Leitfaden erstellten Projektskizzen werden unter Hinzuziehung eines unabhängigen
Expertenkreises begutachtet (Punkt 7.2.1 der Förderrichtlinien). Im Fall eines positiven Votums zur
weiteren Ausarbeitung des Antrages erfolgt die Aufforderung zur Erstellung einer ausführlichen
Vorhabenbeschreibung, welche in einem zweiten fachlichen Begutachtungsschritt wiederum unter
Hinzuziehung eines unabhängigen Expertenkreises geprüft wird (Punkt 7.2.2 der Förderrichtlinien).
Erst im Fall einer Empfehlung zur Förderung ist der vollständige Formantrag vorzulegen.
Formale Vorgaben
Eine vollständige Projektskizze muss folgende Teile umfassen:
1. das ausgefüllte und verbindlich eingereichte Internet-Formular (Projektübersicht) und eine
strukturierte Projektskizze als eine Datei (pdf -Format).
2. die unterschriebene Papierform der vorher online eingereichten Projektübersicht und
Projektskizze samt Anlagen in 4-facher Ausführung (davon bitte ein Exemplar ohne

der Projektskizze.
Die Eingaben für das Internet-Formular (Projektübersicht) und die verbindliche Einreichung der
Projektskizzen müssen bis spätestens zum 15. Mai 2015 erfolgt sein. Entscheidend für die
Fristwahrung ist die auf elektronischem Wege im Internet-Portal verbindlich eingereichte
Projektskizze. Zusendungen per E-Mail oder Fax werden nicht berücksichtigt. Die
Antragsunterlagen in Papierform sollen bis zum 27. Mai 2015 bei dem Projektträger vorliegen.
Die Projektskizze ist in englischer Sprache abzufassen, der Umfang sollte 25 Seiten für Modul 1

Die Projektskizze soll alle Informationen beinhalten, die für ein sachgerechtes Urteil hinsichtlich der
wissenschaftlichen und konzeptionellen Planung des Kooperationsnetzwerkes erforderlich sind.
Sie muss aus sich heraus, ohne Lektüre der zitierten Literatur, verständlich sein und eine
Beurteilung ohne weitere Informationen/Recherche zulassen.
Das Vorhaben soll in knapper, aussagekräftiger Form beschrieben werden. Die nachfolgende
Gliederung ist verbindlich. Erläuternde Hinweise sind bei dem jeweiligen Gliederungspunkt zu

Gliederungsschema für eine Projektskizze zur Beantragung eines Kooperationsnetzwerkes
für Versorgungsforschung
Alle Informationen zur inhaltlichen Ausrichtung der Förderung, den Voraussetzungen für eine
Förderung sowie den Kriterien der Begutachtung finden sich in den „Richtlinien zur Förderung des
Strukturaufbaus in der Versorgungforschung“. Im Folgenden wird ergänzend die Gliederung der
Projektskizze erläutert.
Die Projektskizzen für Modul 1 (Kooperationsnetzwerk) umfassen drei Teile. Im den ersten beiden
Teilen A und B wird die Struktur des Kooperationsnetzwerkes dargelegt und begründet. In dem
dritten Teil C sind Forschungsprojekte, die das Kooperationsnetzwerk gemeinsam durchführt,
jeweils einzeln aufzuführen. Hinsichtlich der Darstellung des Kooperationsnetzwerkes ist es
wichtig, dass der Beitrag zur Realisierung der strategischen Ziele der Fördermaßnahme konkret
beschrieben und damit für einen Expertenkreis beurteilbar ist.
Die folgende Gliederung enthält kursive Textpassagen zur Erläuterung der jeweiligen Kapitel. Die
Texte zu den Aufzählungszeichen sollen Hinweise auf die Art der geforderten Informationen
geben. Hierbei sind vielfach Beispiele aufgeführt, die als Hilfestellung für die Antragstellung
gedacht sind. Keinesfalls wird erwartet, dass alle Beispielmodule in ein Kooperationsnetzwerk
integriert werden.
Zur Beurteilung soll der Projektskizze bereits ein Finanzierungskonzept zugrunde liegen, aus dem
klar das Ausmaß des Engagements der beteiligten Einrichtung in der Versorgungsforschung
hervorgeht. Im Hinblick auf die Konzeption der Projekte werden die durch nationale und
internationale Standards gegebenen Maßstäbe guter wissenschaftlicher Praxis zugrunde gelegt.

be involved in the network (e.g. core facilities, integration / association of certain
research groups, collaborative efforts). Which motivation do they have for a substantial
collaboration?
•
Please comment on public relations. Especially state how visibility of the cooperation
network will be promoted regarding the active approach of external partners and
stakeholders.
•
Description of responsibilities of the coordinating unit. Please focus on the coordination
of research projects, interconnectedness, methodological development and sustainable
visibility of the network.
3. Description of thematic focus, requirements and developmental aims of the
cooperation network
•
Description of long-term scientific research aims taking the required structural changes
into account.
•
Please explain briefly the research landscape of the chosen area. Indicate the position of

scientists ought to have the opportunity to qualify themselves for a research career by
independently conducting a research project and take responsibilities for staff members.
Support is given by funding of defined research projects (see “Leitfaden für die Erstellung
von Projektskizzen im Förderschwerpunkt „Förderung des Strukturaufbaus in der
